IMO, THIS YEAR, rivers and brady are about equal for points.
forte is just starting to heat up and more worthy than barber because barber has injury issues, has to share the carries more, and if in PPR, forte catches a lot more balls than barber.
i would say #2.

Lol well on my fantasy team i actually have Rivers and Forte and Forte is beginning to warm up (as PalmerSteel said) he went threw a tough stretch of games at the beginning of the year....Brady and Rivers are about equal and with the amount of backs in Dallas and barbers injury problems i agree with picking rivers and forte,
